Ok to bridge grounds?

[t.northwest]

So im trying to set my wires up as clean as I can. I have two amps, and was thinking it would be cool to run the powers and grounds from both amps through one single distribution block. But my rudimentary understanding of electricity tells me that bridging the grounds might be a bad idea, especially because the amps vary in output (a 500 and 200). But If I am mistaken, let me know because It would be nice and clean to do it all through the distribution block,

Muito Obrigado!

you do mean a separate distros 1 for ground and 1 for power right

you can hook 2 or more grounds to a distro block, then have a single larger ground going to a grounding point or back to the battery

Sounds like he wants the power and ground in the same distro block.. Don't do it.
